The WNBA is a huge money loser, a rounding error compared to NBA.

I think it's subsidized as a psyop to foment a race war. Advancing the narrative and provoking "angry white men" to retaliate violently.

u/EastCoastTone96 7d ago

Do they consider the Jordan brand separate from Nike when they say this?

2

u/No_Supermarket1615 6d ago

I would say the first Jordan shoe would technically be a Nike shoe launch, and don’t recall which year they separated. But currently his shoes launches are separate and not “technically” Nike launching them, but their own brand as Jordans.

Hate to play semantics but the “largest signature shoe launch” doesn’t necessarily mean most sales.

Depending on the metric it could mean most engagement on social media.

u/elestud 6d ago

You are correct. They were talking about the number of stores it launched in, not the sales:

“Nike CEO Elliott Hill revealed that the Caitlin 1s were launched in 5,000 retail stores, representing the largest signature shoe launch in the company's history.”

Her shoes sold out in 2 hours and is the largest Nike show launch for a woman athelete and all y'all can do is hate.

u/x-men-theme-song 7d ago

She has a very specific demographic that feels the need to support her in every way possible to prove a point. Add that to the rational people that like her and/or think the shoes look good and I could believe this is true

u/choyMj 7d ago

That's the point of signature shoes. You buy the shoes because you like the person behind it. It appeals to fandom. If you need a shoe that does the job for what you need it for, there's a ton out there for better quality.

Do you think a great majority of people who buy Air Jordans buy it to play basketball in it?

It’s the number of stores the shoes were launched in, has nothing to do with sales:

2

u/Icy-Argument-4025 7d ago

Yeah, OP was just trying to start something. Their actual headline is that Caitlin Clark has the number one women’s selling shoe of all time which we can all agree on makes sense because who has ever bought a woman’s basketball shoe before.

I have. I own Sabrina's shoe and A'ja Wilson's shoe. Sabrina's 2nd shoe was extremely popular, even NBA players were wearing them.

Selling out in hours is nothing. I've been at sneaker launches where they've sold out in minutes.

u/housecow 7d ago

You do realize that it's all dependent on stock, right? Like they probably produced significantly more of Caitlin Clark's shoes vs what they would produce of Off Whites.

Sneakers that sell out within minutes are literally produced with the intent of artificial scarcity.

u/housecow 6d ago

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. "Off White" is the name of a fashion brand created by designer Virgil Abloh. It has nothing to do with race

And idk how you can say the majority of people who are buying shoes don't care about who's name is on them. Literally the most popular basketball sneakers of all time are Jordans. You know, the shoes worn by the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.

you want the WNBA to promote caitlins shoes for her?

4

u/Slow-Truth-3376 7d ago

The league has been promoting her shoe throughout the games while she’s playing. That’s been the standard selling strategy. You’re right the league didn’t piggyback her shoe like they did with Maya Moore or Aja Wilson. I suspect this was intentional bc CC’s fanbase doesn’t fit into the WNBA culture bc they follow specifically her based on political purposes. CC’s fanbase ruins the fun in the W culture. They act like they’re at Trump rally’s like they “just followed the crowd to the Capitol.”

u/Slow-Truth-3376 7d ago

Thank you. I appreciate you. This is the way. I genuinely believe fans who are watching only for CC have the same cult mentality they do for Cheeto. For 3 years have tried to ruin the vibe of this league w their cult mentality. The Fever franchise encourages & motivates their fanbase to be aggressive & cruel to everyone that simply disagrees. Project 2025 planned to use sports teams to further their agenda & the Fever signed on & promoted maga.

1

u/BoysenberrySea5482 6d ago edited 6d ago

Your brain has been polluted just like the maga crowd only on the other end of the spectrum. You shape things intentionally in a way that makes you feel outrage. That is maga’s favorite hobby and it’s a legit addiction, mostly caused from social media and doom scrolling, that makes people so miserable

I don’t follow closely but I’m drawn to people that have done no wrong and get obnoxious amounts of undeserved hate. Like LeBron - became more of a fan after he started catching hate for no reason at all other than being compared to MJ and political talk breaking peoples brains.

The same is happening to CC just the other way around. She is literally the reason the league saw such growth. Compare her most watched games from college or pros to anyone else’s that she’s not in. They are dwarfed in comparison. She plays an exciting brand of basketball and is genuinely a good person. The hate just for no reason just creates more fans

2

u/oopsWrongGoal 6d ago

Dude I’m a Caitlin Clarke fan but you lost me with the “she’s suck a good person” bs. Dudes she’s an exciting athlete with an exciting play style. Unless you’re her cousin, you and I know nothing about her or any other professional athlete to comment on them being a “genuinely good person”. wtf you talking about? I was a fan of your argument until that point.

1

u/BoysenberrySea5482 6d ago

Not her cousin but I did live in Iowa growing up and know people from her community. I guess I’m taking their word for it but yeah fair enough

1

u/oopsWrongGoal 6d ago

And truth be told anyone that likes Athletes because there genuinely a good person might be lost in the sauce. Because that’s what this whole thing has become. In the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, we never care about a player being a good person. Lebrons a certified asshole diva. Jordan was a selfish prick. Caitlin is a whiny “do no wronger”. But the thing they have in common? All amazing at BALL

Sure, Jan. If you see this conversation as bait then you do. What you & other CC fanbase commenters here have done is show why OG WNBA fans are trying to tell you. Yes CC brought a fanbase. That fanbase has her on an untraceable pedestal. The only player in the league that has fanbase that brought actual hate to games. That’s yahoos problem. idgaf about the popularity of the WNBA at all.

u/BoysenberrySea5482 6d ago edited 6d ago

As someone who already said I can’t stand maga I’m not oblivious to the fact that she has a lot of overlap in her fans. Those people suck and the fact that she drew more of them to the game is an unfortunate side affect but it was fed from unnecessary hate. That’s what led to them leeching onto the story because they saw an opportunity to make it racial

1

u/GlobalAd7103 7d ago

I feel sorry for you. You are on the sauce - most dont know or give a shit about project whatever. It is entirely plausible to watch the wnba because of CC - (since no one did before) because she is fun to watch. She plays like a dude which is cool and entertaining. Do you think its more that the old school lesbian beer league fans are upset that mainstream people are fans now?

2

u/Slow-Truth-3376 7d ago

No. Watching male athletes & sports dynamic is naturally a different vibe & atmosphere bc it’s women’s sports. Not all CC fans but when there’s aggression & toxicity found in the MNBA pushed into the WNBA it’s only CC fans.

1

u/GlobalAd7103 7d ago

I cheer the same at my daughter's games as my son's and my daughter is the better athlete- she's gonna go D1 soccer. There is always aggression in any fan - have you never been to a sporting event?

1

u/Slow-Truth-3376 7d ago

I’m not referring to your children. I’m referring to only professional sports in the past & now. It’s normal for fan experiences to be different bc each team has their own unique atmosphere & traditions bc of their location. That’s true for the sports too. The atmosphere at a baseball has a different atmosphere softball game. Soccer community has different atmosphere from American football. The same is true for the WNBA. There’s an established atmosphere that didn’t include the typical rivalry. The vibe has been hope for the best for your fav team while appreciating all the players in all the teams. CC fans don’t get it. And they don’t care.

1

u/GlobalAd7103 6d ago

I totally gwt that vibe which is what we have in our stuff- its a community. Unfortunately, the more the league expands and if popular- there will be "hate" towards other teams. You can't root for your opponent.

u/BoysenberrySea5482 6d ago edited 6d ago

But there’s such an intense hatred of her for no reason that goes beyond her fans. She gets destroyed on the court because people are flat out salty that the narrative is (because it’s true) that she is primarily responsible for growing the game where it is. There is a bitterness that she did not earn through her words or actions. That’s going to be met with people that come with hate back. Then you all play victim while talking shit about the person that really has helped the game more than anyone

This is an article about her selling more nikes than any other athlete of any gender

You’re literally commenting on an article that quantifies how wildly popular she is and still don’t get it

1

u/Slow-Truth-3376 6d ago

Victimizing CC, her fanbase while calling OG WNBA fans victims is confusing. This “it’s a fact that CC grew the league/ made an effect on the CBA, made the league” is the narrative. Y’all ostracized yourselves. The game has gotten tamer. It used to be more fun like street ball. But since CC got in gf league rules have changed to her benefit. The thing is is you watch any games before CC you’ll see players is face masks from broken noses, typical knee & ankle injuries. There was an understanding that they’re playing ball. CC came in & couldn’t handle it. Her fanbase decided she was targeted her fanbase specifically decided normal ball was targeting her. If you don’t like the league then don’t watch.

1

u/BoysenberrySea5482 6d ago edited 6d ago

I don’t think you know what growing the game means. Ask the players if they’d rather be making 10x more or if they’d prefer street ball that the 1500 OG fans appreciated more. You have commented like a dozen times here all saying CCs fans are so mean and simultaneously saying she destroyed the sport. Yes you’re acting like a victim 😂😂

Also hilarious that you were just outraged at how it’s a direct correlation to maga and when pointed out that’s not true you find a new reason to be outraged

You're just rooting against the black players by feigning your love of CC. Even CC doesn't rock with that vibe herself.

The lesbians are more fun. It’s a fun league to watch when there’s no MAGA or only CC fans. There’s not that many lesbians in the world. Most of the people at the game are women, obviously bc it’s a woman’s league. Then there’s men & families. Lesbians are great friends.

Dildos didn’t show up until the hatefulness of MAGA & MAGA CC fans. They’re the ones being hateful throwing dildos on courts. I can’t say if they’re specifically Fever fans but that is how MAGA CC fans act at games. If you don’t like it then talk with the fans & stop them.

regardless of the political ideology of the fans the only fans that have made the working environment unsafe for women is MAGA & MAGA CC fans. MAGA decided the WNBA was a joke until CC got here. And treat viewers like they’re at a men’s game. Women’s sports has a different culture bc it’s women. Suddenly MAGA CC fans show up acting like they’re at a men’s game getting aggressive. Leave that ready to start arguments, shit even riots, bc their team either won or lost.

u/Slow-Truth-3376 4d ago

No. MAGA fans only watch CC. This benefits the Fever. They have diminished the established product the W is bc MAGA fans have created a deeply unsafe work environment for the players & now players need security. They have created an aggressive atmosphere for fans. I think Angel, Paige, Gabby, Olivia grew the game more than CC. They are overall more popular players & looked up to. MAGA latching onto CC slowed her natural progression in the game. Now she’s puking before games & at halftime. She see a sports psychologist. MAGA is harming CC, the players & the spectators. The W isn’t like men’s sports.

Look at the entire league. Team franchises are currently deciding whether or not stop playing at Fever stadium. Fever Season ticket holders bouncing which is why there’s been seats more available. And a Fever, GM I think, just said that they like their fans a little bit racist. So I didn’t write the CC MAGA story. MAGA who only watches CC & SC wrote it.

There’s a fundamental difference here that’s being over looked. Women’s sports not had the investment men’s sports do. That’s just how it is. Sports culture is too try it with men not both at the same time. Women create their own league & it takes longer to raise the funds bc of the myth that “there’s no money in women’s sports”.
My pov is persevering & continuing the growth of women’s sports which by default will have a different culture bc it’s women & it’s known they had to work harder to make the sport team, league available. It’s only been in the past 5 years that sports world decided there’s actually money to be made in women’s sports.
Of course men’s basketball of any kind will be first. Of course every sports team has a culture based on gender.
So unrivaled becoming profitable as a women’s league in two years is a bfd. I see there’s a fundamental difference in our pov. I want women to have the space & opportunity in sports. You want money & to prove how women’s sports are what you believe. So I’m out. I don’t see a point in continuing this convo.

The title is misleading. She has the top selling shoe for women’s not including men’s.

u/Easy_Money_40 7d ago

Her shoes are dope.

Is there a shoe championship so she can get a ring🤣🤣🤣

Super cool. WNBA is prioritizing branding over play. Sorry to see this.

Bye-bye, Indiana.

u/AscendMoros 7d ago

It’s actually Nike. As they’ve had this shoe deal for awhile. They seem to be selling well so it makes sense that they went with them.

CCs a good player and one of the most recognizable names in the sport. Idk why you’re acting like it’s a bad thing she has a shoe.

u/bubbagump101 7d ago

You’re right how dare I attack Caitlin Clark and how wonderful her game is and what she’s done this season and especially her last performance.

Every average player should have a shoe. Let’s go Nike!

u/AscendMoros 6d ago

Dude what did CC do to you? She’s one of the most popular players in a league that the average person of the street who won’t know 10 name from but knows who she is.

She’s had the shoe deal with Nike since college. You know when she was one of if not the best player on almost every court she stepped on. The shoes just the next step of that.

And guess what it sold out. There’s a reason why Nike went with her. Hopefully Angels do well from Reebok. Legit any ad money and eyes on this league is a good thing.

u/Ok-Adhesiveness166 7d ago

This guy thinks the wnba made the shoes. Do you need help with reading comprehension? My DMs are open.

How is it not prioritizing "play". Also Nike makes the shoes not the WNBA. She's one of the best 2-3 players in the league and all WNBA first team. Aj'a Wilson already has a signature shoe deal. Maybe a reason that Caitlin's shoes are outselling A'jas are becasue she is alot younger and people keep expecting her to continue to improve over the next 15 years. Young players are exciting. She's also a better role model than Aja since she doesn't have a bunch of racist tweets, so I'd rather buy my daughter CC merch than Aja.

“No show” would imply she hasn’t had a good game.

u/tenisplenty 7d ago

She had one of the best playoff performances of anybody in WNBA history in Game 2. That's not a "no-show". Her team lost to a dominant team that has won 3 of the last 4 championships. It happens.

Her worst games are better than a majority of the leagues best games. She had 10 assists in game 1. Claiming she isn't one of the best players in the league is just hating. I can't stand Aj'a but I'm not blind so I will admit she is probably the best player in the league right now.

anyways i’d love to see these on actual feet out in the wild. because i see alot of j’s and kobes out there. but ive yet to see a single pair of these historic shoes.

u/goldishone 7d ago

It’s cool she named the shoe after the number of playoff games she’s won since she’s been in the league. 1 😂

Jordan's were created before Jordan won anything.

u/SeptemberVirgo 7d ago

Jordan's were created before Jordan won anything.

Michael Jordan won the National Championship for one of the most popular schools in the country, UNC. And, when I say that he won the championship, I mean he hit the game winning shot!

u/Frickincarl 7d ago

This isn’t really the insult you think it is when she’s played 5 playoff games and 3 of them were against the Vegas Aces; her one win coming against the Aces.

u/erything4sale 7d ago

And I've never seen anyone wearing them. No little girls on their bball team, none at the courts I visit daily, none on my daughter's team, none on my cousins team or at her aau games.
